Moving yourself or hiring professionals? This is one of the most commonly asked questions in our business. This guide provides a few cases when you shouldn't move yourself and should hire professional services.
When Not To Move Yourself
Electronics are some of the most expensive items we purchase and are long-term investments. When moving, you need to be very careful when packing your electronics to ensure they remain safe and functional. Follow proper packing techniques, use high-quality materials, and clearly label all boxes containing electronics to prevent damage during the move.
How to Pack Electronic Equipment
Many homeowners assume their policy will step in if a moving company’s insurance denies a claim. Homeowner’s insurance coverage during a move depends on where the damage occurs, who caused it, and how the property was used at the time of loss.
Policies often limit or exclude coverage for items damaged during transit, while in the hands of third parties, or while stored off-site. These gaps can leave homeowners responsible for unexpected repair or replacement costs if they do not review coverage details before moving.
Does Renters Insurance Cover Moving?
Moving artwork and antiques requires professionals with the necessary knowledge and equipment to handle delicate pieces. We do not recommend cutting corners or hiring a company that isn't specialized in delicate items. However, if the items are not very expensive, you can consider packing and moving them yourself.
